DENVER,Colo. Police say a toddler has died after he was reported missing and found near a river in a Denver neighborhood.

Jackson says the boy was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Denver police announced on Twitter around 5 p.m. that the boy had died. His name has not been released.

The spokesman tells the station that investigators are talking to the parents and to neighbors and police aren't speculating on whether there was any wrongdoing by the parents.
